•Burj Khalifa is a world-famous landmark and engineering feat. It is also the conceptual “heart” and soul of the city of Dubai. •Burj Khalifa stands at 828 metres. You can enjoy unparalleled views from the two observation decks. The highest point in the city is on the 124th and 125th floors and the highest observation deck in the world is on the 148th floor. •Burj Khalifa is like a steel flower blooming in the desert. No matter how bad the weather is in spring, summer, autumn and winter, the tower remains like spring all year round. △Levels 124 | 125 Take the double-decker elevator straight to the 124th floor at an astonishing speed of 10 metres per second! In less than 60 seconds, the elevator reaches the observation deck, one of the highest public observation decks in the world with an outdoor terrace. Enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding emirate with breathtaking 360-degree panoramas at your disposal. Learn all there is to know about the design and technology behind this architectural marvel while feasting your eyes on modern and historical views of the city using one of the telescopes located on the deck. △Levels 148 | 125 | 124 Standing 555 metres tall, Burj Khalifa SKY is one of Dubai's most iconic destinations. Your journey begins when you enter the Burj Khalifa SKY lounge, where you will be personally escorted to a dedicated elevator. Inside, watch specially designed shows as you ascend to Level 125.

Modern Dubai was formed in the early 20th century, when the ruling family established its dominance in this charismatic and historic community. Located on the shores of Dubai Creek, Ashdaga is now popular with tourists for attractions such as coral stone buildings with traditional wind towers, Dubai Folk Culture Village and Sheikh Saeedal Maktoum's former residence. The Al Shindagha Museum is known as a "must visit for anyone interested in Emirati culture and those who want to know more about Emirati culture" and there are many exhibitions here. The museum is divided into three pavilions: GovernanceandSociety, CreativityandWell-Being, LivingofftheLandandSea. There is also a children's pavilion, an educational and public exhibition hall where events will be held regularly, a cultural heritage centre, a performance centre and temporary pavilions. In the GovernanceandSociety pavilion, visitors will be mainly guided to learn about the Al Maktoum family in Dubai, as well as the traditional architecture and modern towers of the Dubai cityscape, and to explore the city's central birthplace - Dubai Creek. In the Creativity and Well-Being pavilion, there are traditional Dubai crafts, jewelry, fragrances, and an in-depth understanding of the world of traditional Emirati culture and what they mean today. The third exhibition area, LivingofftheLandandSea, will introduce the culture of the sea, the culture of the land, and how the Emiratis live in these two regions. The Children's Pavilion will introduce children to history in a simple, safe and child-friendly way. Inside, there are interactive exhibits and traditional Emirati games.

This was unparalleled. The VIP lounge on the 154th floor, with drinks, snacks, and a glass of wine, allowed me to stay from dusk till night, watching the sunset and the night view, as well as the terrace on the 152nd floor. It was absolutely perfect!

Dubai Gold Souk: The Treasure MarketLocation: Deira, near Al Ras Metro • Opening hours: 10am – 10pm (some close during Friday prayer) • Bargain-friendly: Yes! Negotiation is part of the experience • Type of gold: Mostly 22K & 24K • No need to buy to enjoy — it’s like walking through a golden museum!

One of the most underrated attractions in Dubai. Cheap price for the vast museum..some interactive, some informative. More sitting places could be a plus..and also maybe some coffee places...has great potential

The dhow cruise in Dubai was a really wonderful experience. The whole evening had such a great vibe from start to finish. There were entertaining dance performances and lively music that kept things fun and engaging throughout. The food was also very good, with a nice variety and great taste. Everything was clean and well-maintained, which made the experience even more comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming as well. Overall, the atmosphere was amazing and it turned out to be a very, very memorable experience that I would definitely recommend.

Place name: Dubai Creek Harbour Navigation Marina Parking, when you are almost there, there will be a traffic light ∞ intersection, directly opposite Marina Parking, go directly down the parking lot after the traffic light to B2, free parking, then find the nearby elevator and go directly to the first floor, turn left to see the skyline of P1-P6, turn right to see the last view! There are many coffee shops and restaurants along the way, order a cup of coffee and sit there to slowly wait for the sunset, or wait for the night to fall to see the night view
